They remind me of the owners of the 2 Presa Canario that killed Diane Whipple....

While I agree that bad owners make a lot of bad dogs, there is definitely something peculiar about one side of that story.
The bit about the dogs and baby in one room and don't go in there, that in particular, I was saying, 'Oh definitely. Sure. And I have some ocean front property in Iowa to sell you too'. As they say in the film noir, 'this stinks like yesterday's fish wrappings'.
Too, if someone told me to babysit for 'The Child in The Room Where You Can't Go', that, or even, whatever really was going on, would have tipped me off right there, that I would rather be rinsing out socks that afternoon.
I have this sort of 'ONOH RADAR' (Oh No, Something seems really wrong here, I think I'll just run like heck Radar), but I guess other people don't have that.

Hmmm....I agree that it seems like there are some unanswered questions here.
I cringe every time I hear stories of dog bites/attacks. As previously mentioned, the source of the problem is usually the owner and not the breed of dog. Too often, it will not be seen or portrayed that way in the media.
We have boxers and have spent extensive time training them. They are absolutely the most loving dogs I have ever known. But I do not ever take for granted how big and powerful they can be!! Our trainer once told us something that has stuck with me. He mentioned that small dogs (chihuahuas, poms, etc) actually bite and attack much more often than large dogs (pit bulls, boxers, rotts, etc), but these larger dogs are so powerful, that they do extensive damage when they do bite or attack. It only takes one attack from one of those dogs to kill a person!! Therefore, owners of large breeds have an immense responsibility to train and properly control their dogs at all times to ensure the safety of themselves and others. Unfortunately, many do not take heed of such advice and innocent people get hurt.

"Anna Heppler told The Minot Daily News, "Nobody ever had a problem, never once. Our dogs were part of the community. After they were done, they laid by (Lori) and comforted her. That's not aggressive.""
Meaning after they were done MAULING Lori??!!

First, I have learned, quite recently that the newspapers and news broadcasts often have about half the "details" in the story dead wrong. (Have had a relative in the news recently from NZ and the reports are mostly wrong). So, in short, don't trust the details.
Second, obviously there's a too much ignorance to even have it all pointed out regarding this. If proof that a dog isn't aggressive means it lays by its prey item after killing or attacking then I'm also Cindy Crawford.
Just another preventable, terrible situation. Its happened before and it will happen again.

I don't get the service dog thing. Its trained to lay on her leg ? Now mine is semi retired and does lay in my feet, beats the heck out of a heating pad. However he is trained and very social and very safe in public. He can also help with laundry and pick up a room of items on the floor.
If a dog is not well behaved them IMO it should' t be doing service work. Not that I have not seen guide dogs try to bite, some just get that protective and they can get that way. I know people who have the dog keep people away from the handler by moving his body to block people from getting to close. But biting is a huge no no. As is any agressive behavor. I dont like people throwing service dog around and it isn't. Makes it a lot harder on us that do use dogs.
As for pit bulls , Ive seen many good mannered pit bulls. Even a few service dogs. However I think any dog can do harm so its up to the person to be responsible and get training and make time to make a dog a good citizen.
